Synopsis

A hobbit inherits a ring that a dark power will tear the world apart to reclaim, and a fellowship walks east to unmake it. Tolkien’s long tale is less about a magic object than about small people carrying an unbearable errand through war, loyalty, and the long walk home.

Synopses are original catalog copy written for Every Book Ever, not publisher blurbs.
